Mind over Mattress

This past few weeks I have decided to challenge myself to perfect my form on just one Asana and I can’t wait for my body to get there yet.

Chaturanga Dandasana

Since I have made up my mind to overcome this, suddenly a lot of small challenges have begun to crop up. It’s proving to provide me with many little hurdles which are much more annoying than I initially imagined.

Somedays I just don’t want to wakeup early some days as I’m not sleeping well. Also sleeping in with warm blanket while it’s still dark out, is really really really tempting. Everyday I fear that today might be the day my laziness wins over my resolve.

I keep believing that I’m doing enough practice on my own but in reality I probably can push myself more.

I don’t want to be a modern yogi who expects results fast. The problem is I have become so good at being slow and laid back! So laid back that I’m laying in savasana.

I need to fire up my motivation and strengthen my personal practice and keep the promise I made myself.

I would love to hear how you guys overcame the challenges of motivation and accomplished your goals. I would love to hear some of your stories or words of wisdom or even tales of how you failed miserably so I feel like I have some company. 🙂
